Colleagues describe her as "Angela and I worked together at Space Systems/Loral (later Maxar) for nearly 15 years. Angela led SS/L efforts to create its leadership training curriculum that has been the engine for developing current and prospective future leaders for over 10 years. But it was observing Angela’s contributions over the last few years of our tenure together that highlighted her unique skills. As a fellow member of the Sr. Leadership team, Angela led the facilitation of a strategy development initiative to address the extraordinary disruptive market forces that were impacting our core business during a critical and prolonged period. Angela went onto then coordinate our efforts to define the organizational structure changes necessary to align with the newly defined strategy. Angela also provided data-informed tools and leadership training that enabled us to help the overall SS/L team better navigate through the difficult changes that were required to successfully pivot our resources and processes towards our new objectives. Angela is a valued coach who has consistently challenged me to seek out areas of self-improvement and growth while always being willing to mentor me whenever I’ve asked. I have a great deal of respect for Angela’s expertise and for her passion to help others develop as individuals and as a team. I would highly recommend Angela as a very effective resource for any team looking for help to advance their strategy, leadership, or organizational development efforts. " and "I worked with Angela at Maxar’s Space Systems Loral (SSL) subsidiary. In her role as Executive Director of Global Learning and Effectiveness, I served on change management and manager training teams that Angela led at SSL. Additionally, Angela coached me in my first executive role at the company. Angela was recognized by SSL senior management for her organizational development expertise and strategic thinking. One of her objectives was help identify and train prospective future occupants of the C-suite. To that end, Angela led the development of training programs used to prepare select leaders for future roles in executive management. When I received my first executive assignment, Angela was my coach for over a year. She taught me strategies for finding common ground among powerful stakeholders with conflicting objectives. She also taught me effective techniques for identifying and developing leaders on my team. Due to her coaching, I learned to focus on the most critical issues while empowering leaders on my team to take care of the rest. Angela coached the senior leadership team on change management during a time of unprecedented change at the company. She equipped the leadership with scientifically supported instruction on the change process and with strategies for managing through the changes. Her techniques empowered leaders to help employees diagnose where they are in the change process and to help them eventually embrace the changing environment. Angela always keeps her finger on the pulse of the culture of her company. She was the driving force behind forming a team of employees, consisting of both managers and individual contributors, to develop effective initiatives for improving the company culture during challenging times. I highly recommend Angela as a strategy consultant, an organizational development consultant, and an executive coach. Executives of companies going through significant change would especially benefit from Angela’s talent and expertise. "
